[Fri Jun 29 21:07:28
2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: What has gone
before: (34) Asianna Corsair: "Oh no,
not at all. You saved me from an eternity of boredom."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "And who might you be? I seem to detect a hint of
Wylundin."
(30) Git: "Can't be.. he was getting to the good part, after all..."
:sarcastically chimes:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I couldn't really hear, for the fumes in his
breath."
(30) Git: "Oh, me? I go by the name Aragit Fellthorn, and yes, I do hale
from Wylund."
(30) Git: "Well, the stinking breath may have been for effect.. mimic the
giants and all.."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I can't say I've had the pleasure. Asianna
Corsair."
(30) Git: "That's how you can tell a truly dedicated storyteller."
:jests:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I've met many who could run rings around
his tales. Including Gar... I meant the Magister. Remind me to tell you
sometime about his um...fireballs."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "You've heard of the Magister, yes? Being from
Wylund and all."
(30) Git: "Yes... I've met the old pervert. Even invited him to judge a
contest for me before I left Tolmara last. I wonder how that turned out."
** (34) Asianna Corsair chuckles out loud. "He is an old pervert!" **
(30) Git: "Yes, half the reason we got on so well, I fear."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "A certain spell of his, after one of his old lovers
named Tabetha. It's infamous, I gather, amongst magi of the Diamond
Citadel."
(30) Git: :raises a brow: "Oh, how so?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Or was it Matilda? I can't remember."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Not only does it diddle, it causes damage. One
can't have pleasure without a little pain, or so I'm told." (giggles)
(30) Git: "Heh... remind me to take up magicks one of these days."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "That brings back memories. There was the time we
took on a tribe of warriors from the Void, along with an elder crimson drake.
It tried to convince us that it would act in an honorable manner if we spared
its' life. I put an end to that notion quickly."
(30) Git: "Oh, what'd you do?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Never trust a crimson drake's word if you can help
it. And this drake was no different. A honeyed tongue you'd never heard, but
this one had it all. Phlogostrassa, I believe her name was. Heartflame in the
language of humans."
** (30) Git settles in by Asianna, listening with interest to her tale. **
(30) Git: (step one to getting a girl: Listen to
all their boring stories)
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I listened, spoke to Ayyers, had a little
conference. Dobhalain tried to convince us of the balance of
good versus evil but in the end, reason won out."
(30) Git: "Ah.. your skills as a Truthteller, huh? Hammish was telling me
something of that impressive tallent."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "After a battle with those warriors in the silver
Void, we were in no mood to deal with the likes of a lying, conniving drake of
hellflame. Wingbiter tasted drake blood that day."
(30) Git: "Wingbiter?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "My sword." (pats a sheathed and tied-off
longsword by her side)
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Courtesy of a long-dead liche." (smiles
faintly at the memory)
(30) Git: "How theatrical. Maybe I should name my weapons. Though I've
never been very good at that sort of thing."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I suppose. So what brings you to this farflung
corner away from home?"
(30) Git: "Divine transposition."
(30) Git: "Numerous times.."
(30) Git: "At the moment we're set to go against the council of the Nine,
and we come here seeking like minded aid, my
comrades and I that is.
(30) Git: "Though, aren't you rather far from home yourself?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I'm travelling with Hammish. You might have met him
already. It's been an interesting week so far and I'm glad it's almost
over."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I can't wait to be on the road again. Too much time
being spent cooped up here, if you know what I mean."
(30) Git: "Oh? Some certain daunting task you had to perform in
this week?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "No, just lots of feasting. I like good food as much
as anyone else but it seems we've done nothing but eat and make merry."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Not that I have anything against that sort of fun.
But it seems a bit pointless. Supposedly there was to have been some surprise
today, but so far I've not seen any."
(30) Git: :forces a mock frown: "Oh, how horrible for you. While I was
out, crawling in a dank dungeon, getting immolated to death, ressurrected, then
poisoned, and almost dying before making the trek all the way out here, you
were being tortured with feast and merriment. You poor woman."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Personally I'd have rather traded places with
you."
(30) Git: :smiles: "I had a feeling i was going to like you."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Most of the people here are nice enough I suppose.
A bit too many stuffed up and full of themselves like Randy, O Mandy."
(30) Git: "Well.. better full of themselves than someone else..."
:glances skywayrd: "..and I'm not entirely sure what I mean by that."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Though Dame Gold is better than most. At least she
has what Ayyers used to call 'the common touch'."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "So what's your story?"
** (34) Asianna Corsair takes a seat by the fire in the study. **
(30) Git: :nonchalantly: "Nothing of great reknown. I come from Tolmara,
where I worked in the brokering of goods and information. Eventually, it was
necessary for me to leave the position though, and I took to a travelling life,
which brought me in contact with the crew I currently serve with. A few zaney
adventures later, here we are, set to battle the Kernin forces before they can
build a sufficient army against Wylund."
(30) Git: "Nothing to outlandish." :lies:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Interesting. And what makes you believe that
they're building a force up?"
** (17) Kha wanders off to find Git **
(34) Asianna Corsair: "So you're a thief." (flatly)
(30) Git: :shakes his head: "You know how it goes.. a bunch of Doomsayers
started babbling prophecies and warning of an impending war, and some idiot is
bound to come investigate for them."
(30) Git: :corrects: "I am an Agent of Justice." :raises his fist
dramatically:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Actually, I know all too well. But it's always
interesting hearing from another person, their experiences and all."
** (34) Asianna Corsair snorts. "And I'm the rump of a dun colored pony,
and my sword is the pony's tail." **
(17) Kha: "You dont look like a rump. But I have been known to be
wrong"
(30) Git: "Then may your hooves carry you swiftly." :offers in
strange blessing:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "You seem about as much an agent of justice as I am
a paladin in shining armor. How's Shylock Shelly these days?"
** (17) Kha walks up next to Git **
(17) Kha: "You bringing the Truthteller or flirting?"
** (34) Asianna Corsair studies the flames, not waiting for your response. **
** (30) Git glances up to Kha. "I am fully capable of doing both, I'll
have you know." **
(34) Asianna Corsair: "If you ever see Shelly, please do give him my
regards. He owes me a tenth of a tenth of a coffer of crowns."
(17) Kha: "Well you seem to have forgoten how to bring someone." **
looks at Asianna ** "You the Truthteller?"
(30) Git: "Hmph..." :looks back to Asianna: "I'm not really on
speaking terms with anyone in the Network any longer."
** (34) Asianna Corsair turns around to regard Kha. "Hammish's been
spreading tales, hasn't he?" **
** (34) Asianna Corsair sighs. **
(30) Git: :peers to Kha: "i said I'm capable.. not willing." :sighs:
(17) Kha: "Something like that, I am confused about why we need a
Truthteller though."
(17) Kha: "Anyway I am boared and if we dont do whatever it was Git was
sent to get you for I am gona go look for something interesting to do."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "No? Not on speaking terms? That's mildly
interesting. The Ravens have wings that stretch far and wide. They don't let
their talons free."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "So why don't you tell me who your friend is and
what you want from me."
** (17) Kha turns and starts heading back to Agatha **
(30) Git: :watches Kha walk away: "That's the amazing man of zero
personality. Astounding, ain't he?"
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I'm sure he's a charmer when he wants to be. He
reminds me of a certain dwarf actually."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "The silent ones usually surprise you when you least
expect it. You were saying?"
(17) Kha: ** Arives back at Agatha ** "Git decided to flirt with the
Truthtell instead of bringing her here." ** looks a little confused **
"Must be hard to flirt with a Truthteller."
(30) Git: :muses idly: "And we were having such a lovely chat"
:straightens up: "Right then... my friends and I would like to get any aid and
information from those gathered here that we can, but many distrust us as
strangers. Thus, we require someone to vouch for us... a truthteller such as
yourself could prove us well enough for some."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I see. Or at least I think I see. And what do you
want in exchange?"
(36) Agatha: "That won't discourage Git I reckon."
(30) Git: "From you." :grins: "I could think of a few things, if
you are offering. But in general, we are only seeking trust here."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Only trust? That's really hard to believe."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I don't even need to...concentrate to know that's
not what you're after."
(30) Git: "Then tell me I am lying." :speaks flatly:
(34) Asianna Corsair: "There's a bit of stretching going on. Not much, of
course. But just a bit."
** (36) Agatha shakes her head. "A beautiful elf woman with nimble, sticky
fingers. I should have wagered money on the outcome." **
(34) Asianna Corsair: "It's hard for me to believe that two, maybe three
people could raise trouble for what the Kernin."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "There's more to this than 'being agents of
justice'."
(30) Git: :raises a brow: "Hmm... Well.. perhaps if you speak with my
friends, you will be able to discern more. I could dazzle you with tales of
gods, and Prophecies, but I won't speak of things I put no trust in."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "You could, I suppose. Make the tale more
interesting. Has to be better than Randy, O Mandy's tale of heroism."
(30) Git: :grins: "It is a very long story. Perhaps I'll tell it to you if
you have a night and a day free to tell it in."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I have quite a few nights available. Are you
proposing?"
** (34) Asianna Corsair leans in and kisses you on the cheek. **
(30) Git: "Well, if you'd accept, I'd find it hard to refuse."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Third door on the left on the second floor.
Ebonwatch rising two. Don't be late."
** (34) Asianna Corsair gets up and smiles faintly at Git before stepping out
of the room. "And while you're at it, bring a bottle of mintwater."
**
(30) Git: "Yes, Madam." :adds: "Oh.. and about my
friends..."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "Tell them they're sharing with Hammish. He has room
to spare." (over her shoulder)
** (30) Git chuckles. "As you wish." **
(34) DM: You (Agatha) spot a tall, beautiful elven maiden ascending the staircase
to the second floor and dangling a familiar looking coin purse by her side.
** (30) Git heads out to meet the others. "Well, she seems kind
enough." **
** (17) Kha head up the stairs after her "You gona help us or not, I dont
wana waste the night sitting here waiting when I could be out hunting down a
lost rat." **
** (36) Agatha grins. "That so? I just lost a wager to Master Whitecoin
here. Could you spare me a crown?" **
(36) Agatha: ((to Git))
(30) Git: :shakes his head, grinning: "Nah.. my purse is gone."
(36) Agatha: "And you aren't going to go after it?"
(30) Git: "I'll worry about that. In the meantime..." :turns to
Hammish: "Asianna suggest the team stay in your quarters tonight, that way
you can speak privately with them in matters concering the Nine."
** (34) Asianna Corsair turns around. "You could at least have
manners." **
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I've spoken to street urchins with more courtesy
than you."
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "She has?" (seems crestfallen)
(17) Kha: "Sorry, I dont like waiting around when someone who was recently
a slave and now is scared for his life is running around on unfamilar
streets."
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "Well there's no getting around it then. I have
a few beds to spare."
(30) Git: :nods seriously to Hammish: "Yes, any information you can give
us would be greatly appreciated."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "I don't like getting involved in situations I have
no control over. And no information as well."
(30) Git: :to Aggy: "Well... sleep
tight."
** (30) Git turns to walk away. **
(17) Kha: "Smart, then just tell them you wont help so we can get on with
the buisness of taking down then Nine, and you can go back to your
parties."
(36) Agatha: "Oh, Git! One more thing."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "We'll talk in the morning. Your friend wants
something from me, and I mean to get something in return."
** (30) Git stops to glance back over his shoulder. **
(17) Kha: "Ok whatever, if I am still here in the morning I'll be at the
Inn. We have several rooms there. But for now I am going back to hunting down
my lost friend."
(34) Asianna Corsair: "It isn't every day I see a Raven that's lost it's
way in this part of the woods. Good evening."
** (17) Kha heads off again, back to searching the streets **
(34) Asianna Corsair: "He really has no personality. I could've been
wrong. Oh well, it won't be the first time." (shrugs)
(30) Git: :to Aggy: "Yes?"
** (36) Agatha says with a mixture of smugness and concern. "The Cloak you
took from Zathis was cursed with some magic disease.
You may want to get to a temple before seeing the elf woman to er..get your
purse back." **
(30) Git: :blinks:
"Lovely... well... I'm feeling fine so far..." :to Hammish: "Can
it wait until morning?"
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "As I am not a priest, I cannot tell. I only
divined the nature of the cloak."
(30) Git: :sighs: "How far is the nearest person who could tell me?"
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "Perhaps Maeve can summon
the Wisdom here if you feel unwell."
(30) Git: :Shakes head: "I feel fine so far."
(30) Git: "Are you sure that it's an unavoidable disease..
I couldn't have resisted it?"
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "While the White Temple is in Heathwatch and
quite some time away, it is my understanding that this village has a Wisdom in
residence who might be of some use."
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "You might have resisted it to still be alive
today."
(34) Hammish of Whytecoin: "It is possible."
(30) Git: "Great.. if I feel horrible later I'll have the Wisdom summoned,
and I'll take a stop by in the morrow."
(34) DM: (remember that it took a week to get to Safeton from Heathwatch, on
foot. with a stop by Zathis' tomb on the way.)
** (30) Git turns away: "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to see what this
manse has in the way of mintwater." **
** (30) Git goes to ask the servants about a bottle, and where abouts he can
get cleaned up before the appointed hour. **

[Fri Jun 29 21:07:32 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering): Zach
[Fri Jun 29 21:07:40 2007] : (73) DM: (that was
from last session)
[Fri Jun 29 21:08:51 2007] : (73) DM: (so it's
been a few days since and you're on the road to Caer Thorne. the villagers
pointed you in the direction of Talakara's castle and helped replenish your
supplies as a sort of reward for having saved Dame Gold's life.)
[Fri Jun 29 21:08:57 2007] : whispering to Zach,
Lunauc, Gautam, TaliesinNYC, (GW): Oh, I am guessing we hung around long enough
to see if Madem Gold recovered from the mind wipe that Kha undid, to see if she
remembered what the Aes Sedi was attempting to make her forget
[Fri Jun 29 21:09:15 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) yes

point size 10
[Fri Jun 29 21:10:00 2007] : (85) Lunauc: (GW): don't know
[Fri Jun 29 21:10:31 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) its still a little hazy but apparently she had overheard a
conversation between someone at her manse and a member of the Nine, something
about a meeting amongst the Nine to take place in their secret city.)
[Fri Jun 29 21:10:33 2007] : ** (99) Kha is
walking along with a rat on his arm, chitering at it as if talking, as he
follows Agatha and Git **
[Fri Jun 29 21:10:43 2007] : (85) Git: ((aahhh..
we missed the whole "Dame Golds, After Hours" scenes)
[Fri Jun 29 21:10:53 2007] : Font is now Sans point
size 15
[Fri Jun 29 21:11:23 2007] : ** (76) Agatha knows there was no life-saving whatsoever, but she's not
about to argue free hand-me-downs and goods.
**
[Fri Jun 29 21:12:39 2007] : ** (85) Git marches along watching the surroundings and ignoring the
man with the rat. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:13:31 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): Don't worry, we'll cover the late-night shenanigans
later. Note: Git may or may not have had a bucket of ice-cold water thrown in
his face when he opened the door during the night.
[Fri Jun 29 21:14:29 2007] : (73) DM: Lightly
wooded hills roll by, quite a pastoral scene in contrast to your eventual
destination. According to what Hammish mentioned, the Ashen Mountains are so
named due to the number of active volcanoes that lie amidst some of its snow
capped peaks.
[Fri Jun 29 21:15:04 2007] : (85) Lunauc: (GW): Assuming I made it back to the room. Hehehe..
aaalllriiiiight.. Giggiddy-giggidy.
[Fri Jun 29 21:16:02 2007] : (73) DM: Whether
the road wends near them is a matter of speculation since most Kernin are not
rural folk. The mountain range is quite vast and stretches from near the border
to the plains of Hyboras to the forest of Heremark, far to the southeast.
[Fri Jun 29 21:16:35 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): Who said it was the door to Git's room?
[Fri Jun 29 21:16:46 2007] : (85) Lunauc: (GW): ....
[Fri Jun 29 21:16:58 2007] : (73) DM: You can
see the range looming on the horizon, and perhaps a hint of gloom around one or
two peaks. Or perhaps it's just your mind playing tricks -- about the gloom,
that is.
[Fri Jun 29 21:17:04 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): ...Oh.
[Fri Jun 29 21:18:11 2007] : (73) DM: IT'
[Fri Jun 29 21:18:53 2007] : (73) DM: It's
roughly close towards early evening of the fourth day from Safeton.
[Fri Jun 29 21:19:42 2007] : (99) Kha: "So
are we going with my idea of just knocking on the door and saying hello, or
attempting to sneek in?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:20:16 2007] : (85) Git: :back
over his shoulder to Kha: "Don't know yet."
[Fri Jun 29 21:21:18 2007] : (99) Kha: "Well
better decide soon, we are getting closer and if we get within a day of the
place and you have not decided, then we are going with my idea. Or I should say
I am going with my idea anyways."
[Fri Jun 29 21:22:06 2007] : ** (99) Kha
chitters at the rat then sets it on the ground letting it scamper back into the
woods **
[Fri Jun 29 21:22:16 2007] : ** (76) Agatha has made considerable progress in her book, but she sighs
when she notices how much more there is too the book. What is it about writing
a book that makes one beat around the bush so much. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:22:45 2007] : (85) Git: :groans:
"I haven't decided, because I don't know the layout, or how well defended
it is. If sneaking in would be near impossible, I'll gladly let you stroll up
to the door. Besides, we have no idea what we're walking into this time.. not
that we ever do."
[Fri Jun 29 21:23:30 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
know the layout and the defenses. I also have an Idea of what we are walking
into."
[Fri Jun 29 21:23:55 2007] : ** (76) Agatha looks up and reflects on her encounters over the many
months. Perhaps it isn't just writers. Or more folks are plannin' to write a
book than you think. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:24:10 2007] : ** (85) Git stops in his tracks. "You what?" **
[Fri Jun 29 21:24:41 2007] : ** (76) Agatha snaps out of it and joins the conversation. "How do
you know that?" **
[Fri Jun 29 21:25:58 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
told you I visited the place in the Dream World
before we even got to the Well."
[Fri Jun 29 21:26:43 2007] : (99) Kha: "You
just rarly listen
to what I have to say."
[Fri Jun 29 21:26:52 2007] : (85) Git: :blinks at
Kha: "And could you draw out a map and descriptions of the defenses from
memory?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:27:01 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Oh?
Well, with information like that, how can we go wrong?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:28:08 2007] : (83) Hevnen (enter):
21:28
[Fri Jun 29 21:28:31 2007] : (99) Kha: "Sure.
I could also visit again tonight. And if you want to sneek in I may be able to
get us in."
[Fri Jun 29 21:28:59 2007] : (85) Git: "And...
it didn't occur to you to bring this up before now?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:30:00 2007] : ** (99) Kha sits
down and draws out the layout of the exterior of the Manor, it's defenses from
memory **
[Fri Jun 29 21:30:35 2007] : ** (85) Git just looks up from the drawing Kha, to Aggy and shakes his
head **
[Fri Jun 29 21:30:49 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
did bring it up before now. Which I just told you. Again you dont listen to me
very well"
[Fri Jun 29 21:31:02 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Git,
you can't be serious! Granted, the lad got lucky finding a hole in the sand,
but a whole map? That's just nonsense!"
[Fri Jun 29 21:31:10 2007] : (85) Git: "Well,
you usually just babble nonsense"
[Fri Jun 29 21:32:15 2007] : (83) Hevnen (exit):
21:32
[Fri Jun 29 21:32:31 2007] : (85) Git: "And
though you mentioned taking a dreamwalk there, you neglected to say you could
recall useful recon info about the place."
[Fri Jun 29 21:33:11 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
dont babble, you just fail to see the significance of what I say."
[Fri Jun 29 21:33:19 2007] : (45) Peter (exit):
21:33
[Fri Jun 29 21:33:52 2007] : (85) Git: "Yeah,
yeah, less talkie, more drawie."
[Fri Jun 29 21:34:11 2007] : (99) Kha: "Any
ways I'll pay another visit tonight to see if I can find any other info out.
Besides the fact that Talakara seems to control the power of a God"
[Fri Jun 29 21:34:44 2007] : ** (99) Kha
finishes drawing everything he remembers in silence **
[Fri Jun 29 21:35:02 2007] : whispering to
TaliesinNYC, Now would be a good time to have Zach walk in on the group
[Fri Jun 29 21:35:05 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Aye,
now that's something you could have left out."
[Fri Jun 29 21:35:28 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
told you that before as well."
[Fri Jun 29 21:35:31 2007] : ** (76) Agatha watches Kha out of curiosity. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:35:49 2007] : ** (85) Git looks over the map as Kha puts in the last details. "I
don't suppose you know any guard details on the place." **
[Fri Jun 29 21:37:59 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) k
[Fri Jun 29 21:38:31 2007] : (99) Kha: "All
I saw were undead. I could not get inside the Manor due to Talakara having the
power of either Oneiros or Mania. Which prevents mortals from entering an area
in the Dreamrealm."
[Fri Jun 29 21:39:00 2007] : (73) DM: As Kha
prattles on, you're aware of audible snoring nearby.
[Fri Jun 29 21:39:35 2007] : (85) Git: "Right.."

[Fri Jun 29 21:40:48 2007] : ** (76) Agatha tries to follows the sound with her eyes, hopefully to it
source. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:41:40 2007] : (73) DM: You round
a bend in the road and come across a hill -- a grass-covered mound really.
Halfway up the hill's gentle slope is a well. Snoring is audible up the slope.
[Fri Jun 29 21:42:20 2007] : ** (99) Kha looks
up the slope **
[Fri Jun 29 21:42:21 2007] : ** (85) Git ignores the snoring, as he moves on, examining the map as
he goes. **

follow the sound around a bend in the road. had this typed out in advance.]
=> er, follow the sound around a bend in the road. had this typed out in

[Fri Jun 29 21:42:51 2007] : (73) DM: Someone
seems to be propped up next to the well, fast asleep.
[Fri Jun 29 21:43:16 2007] : (99) Kha: "Not
a very safe spot
to be falling asleep. Not with Shai`tan's minons out and about anyways." ** shouts ** "Hoolow
there!"
[Fri Jun 29 21:43:45 2007] : (73) DM: More
snoring.
[Fri Jun 29 21:44:21 2007] : ** (99) Kha picks
up and rock and tosses it at the sleeping man as he continue up the mound **
[Fri Jun 29 21:44:35 2007] : (85) Git: "Safe
or not, it's their choice where to sleep. Don't
annoy strangers."
[Fri Jun 29 21:45:39 2007] : ** (76) Agatha leans over to Git. "Did he say Shai'tan?" **
[Fri Jun 29 21:46:07 2007] : (85) Git: "Yep/"
[Fri Jun 29 21:46:47 2007] : ** (76) Agatha sighs. "Lovely."
**
[Fri Jun 29 21:47:03 2007] : (99) Kha: "Not
nice to leave a stranger to the fate of the Aes Sedi we found on our way here
either Git."
[Fri Jun 29 21:47:37 2007] : (85) Git: "Once
more.. their choice. Besides.. might just be a highwayman's trap."

[Fri Jun 29 21:48:09 2007] : (99) Kha: "Then
better to spring the trap and kill them then to leave then to pester the
locals."
[Fri Jun 29 21:48:17 2007] : ** (70) Berard sits up, looking a bit perplexed. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:48:26 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Aye,
but if he's out here by himself he's other tough enough to handle himself or
he's a bloody fool. Either way, there's no point in waking the fellow."
[Fri Jun 29 21:48:33 2007] : (85) Git: "Why
kill them. They're just making a living."
[Fri Jun 29 21:48:34 2007] : (73) DM: The
stranger appears to be a slim, elegantly tailored young man with black hair and
blue eyes. His black garments, though subdued in design, are of the most
fashionable cut and highest quality materials. A heavy looking ring is worn on
his left hand.
[Fri Jun 29 21:49:05 2007] : (99) Kha: "Ahh,
not a wise place to fall asleep alone friend."
[Fri Jun 29 21:49:22 2007] : (70) Berard: "Hello
there, stranger, I was not asleep, but merely... ah... deep in thought."

[Fri Jun 29 21:50:27 2007] : (70) Berard: "Ahem.
Well, yes, I can see how one might think that."

[Fri Jun 29 21:50:58 2007] : (99) Kha: "There
are better ways to make a living then stealing from people who are willing to
work for a living."
[Fri Jun 29 21:51:42 2007] : (99) Kha: "Anyways
I figured I should warn you there are minions of Shai`Tan out and about in these
parts."
[Fri Jun 29 21:52:04 2007] : (85) Git: :sighs:
"Would you stop saying that."
[Fri Jun 29 21:52:12 2007] : (70) Berard: "Ah.
I am actually waiting for someone. You perhaps."
[Fri Jun 29 21:52:29 2007] : (70) Berard: "You
would not happen to be familiar with a man named Fellthorn, now would
you?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:52:50 2007] : (76) Agatha: "What's
it to you?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:53:04 2007] : (99) Kha: "What,
would you prefer I call him Leafblighter, the Dark One, or some other name? He
is a non native Deity. Whatever name you decide to call him he will know you
are talking about him."
[Fri Jun 29 21:53:27 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
am investigating the attempted kidnapping and murder of that man."
[Fri Jun 29 21:53:43 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
think thats what Git's surname is. Isnt it?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:53:45 2007] : ** (85) Git looks up to the stranger spewing his name **
[Fri Jun 29 21:53:55 2007] : (70) Berard: "You
are familiar with the name then."
[Fri Jun 29 21:54:12 2007] : ** (85) Git gives Kha a sharp glance.
**
[Fri Jun 29 21:54:29 2007] : ** (76) Agatha slaps a hand on Kha's mouth quickly. "Maybe." **
[Fri Jun 29 21:54:47 2007] : (99) Kha: "Your
network friends catching up to you Git?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:55:09 2007] : (99) Kha: ((
that came out all mumbled due to Agathas hand over his mouth ))
[Fri Jun 29 21:55:10 2007] : (85) Git: :to
the stranger: "And how would you know of this Fellthorn's kidnapping
and/or murder?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:55:33 2007] : ** (85) Git ignores Kha, barely restraining himself from smacking the
twit. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:55:48 2007] : ** (76) Agatha takes a moment to size up the stranger. **
[Fri Jun 29 21:56:05 2007] : (70) Berard: "Attempted
kidnapping or murder! Indeed, perhaps a preventable occurance!"
[Fri Jun 29 21:56:20 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): Sense motive to to estimate how tough he is in a
fight.
[Fri Jun 29 21:56:23 2007] : ** (99) Kha pushes
Agathas hands away "I'll stay quiet." **

[Fri Jun 29 21:57:03 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): Well shit.
[Fri Jun 29 21:57:09 2007] : (70) Berard: "But
where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Berard, and I am
a wandering priest who sometimes investigates certain, shall we say peculiar
events."
[Fri Jun 29 21:57:54 2007] : (85) Git: "It's
nice to meet you. You may call me Folan Serius."
[Fri Jun 29 21:58:07 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): I think he's some dark Shai'tan priest, don't I?
[Fri Jun 29 21:58:10 2007] : (70) Berard: "A
few months ago, a certain list of names happened to come into my possession.
The good Fellthorn, Aragit Fellthorn, was on this list."
[Fri Jun 29 21:58:50 2007] : ** (99) Kha goes
and sits off to one side and chitters into the woods until a Rat comes out and
sits on his lap **
[Fri Jun 29 21:58:52 2007] : (99) Kha: ((
AFK for a smoke ))
[Fri Jun 29 21:58:55 2007] : (85) Git: "Good
you say..? Does this list have some description of him?"
[Fri Jun 29 21:59:23 2007] : (70) Berard: "Not
in the least Master Serius."
[Fri Jun 29 21:59:57 2007] : (85) Git: "Ah..
that is... vague. So who else is on this mystery list?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:00:28 2007] : (70) Berard: "An
excellent question! I too wondered about the names, so I did what any
reasonable man would."
[Fri Jun 29 22:00:38 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
started at the top and worked my way down."
[Fri Jun 29 22:01:20 2007] : ** (76) Agatha has let Kha's blather and her ignorance of priestly orders
get the better of her. She decides something isn't right. **
[Fri Jun 29 22:01:28 2007] : (70) Berard: "Unfortunately,
the names above Fellthorn's belong to men who no longer wallk among us."
[Fri Jun 29 22:01:45 2007] : (85) Git: "Dead?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:01:50 2007] : (70) Berard: "Or
taken."

afford to have the creature harmed. **
[Fri Jun 29 22:02:23 2007] : (85) Git: "Huh..
that is disturbing."
[Fri Jun 29 22:02:37 2007] : (70) Berard: "Quite
odd, yes?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:02:38 2007] : (85) Git: "May
I see this list.. perhaps I know a name or two."
[Fri Jun 29 22:03:02 2007] : ** (76) Agatha glances around for any possible ambush. **
[Fri Jun 29 22:03:23 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
would indeed be quite interested to see if you recognize any of the
names."
[Fri Jun 29 22:04:36 2007] : (85) Git: "I
will offer what help I can."
[Fri Jun 29 22:04:39 2007] : ** (70) Berard -- moving very, very slowly! -- reaches into his pack and
produces a scrolll case. Opening the scroll case, he extracts a single piece of
expensive looking paper, and passes it without comment over to Git. **

suspision but what is he waiting for? **

it. Do you know any of those on the list?"

back ))

me, however, it is the signature that is the most interesting part."

there a difference between the columns?

yes, did I not mention this earlier?"

other abductions?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:15:36 2007] : (70) Berard: "The
names in the first column are very unpleasant sorts. And the name at the bottom
is more unpleasant still. The names in the first column are, or perhaps I
should say were quite healthy."
[Fri Jun 29 22:16:00 2007] : (70) Berard: "The
names in the second column are the dead and missing."

coincidental. **

[Fri Jun 29 22:16:45 2007] : (85) Git: "Yes,
quite possible. So.. who is the signer you re so interested in?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:16:50 2007] : (70) Berard: "Fellthorn's
name is in the second column."
[Fri Jun 29 22:17:17 2007] : (70) Berard: "Jacques."

dealings with those in the first."

why so?"

can only assume that this Fellthorn -- if he still lives -- is of a similar
mold."

but says nothing **
[Fri Jun 29 22:19:25 2007] : (70) Berard: "The
first name? Quintus, a powerful and well known mage of Wylund. His dedication
to the welfare of the common citizenry is both well known and exemplary."
[Fri Jun 29 22:20:18 2007] : (76) Gautam: (GW): Quintus? Wait, that's familiar. Did we fight him?
[Fri Jun 29 22:20:37 2007] : (70) Berard: "The
second? A master blacksmith. Well spoken of in his community. He leaves behind
a widow and three small children."

colum are they in?)

Lunauc, Gautam, (GW): Dont remember
[Fri Jun 29 22:21:47 2007] : (70) Berard: "Much
less sociable sorts."
[Fri Jun 29 22:22:07 2007] : ** (76) Agatha lets herself relax just a bit. If there was going to be an
attack, it would have happened by now. Still this is strange. **
[Fri Jun 29 22:22:27 2007] : (70) Berard: "The
first name is a necromancer in the service to a border lordling. The second? A
demon-summoner."

to interupt, but you said you were a priest, but didnt mention which Deity you
serve."

-- to someone who was helping me in my investigation."

you taken this list to any authorities?"

fellow priest. You were familiar with the name, yes? Perhaps you would like to
take a look as well?"

yes. My tradition prefers to work with the authorities where appropriate. And,
of course, others in my tradition will follow up on the other names."
[Fri Jun 29 22:29:38 2007] : (85) Git: "Ah..
so it is more than just yourself carrying this investigation out?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:30:18 2007] : (70) Berard: "It
would be imprudent of me to carry the sole copy of a list such as this out to
the middle of nowhere, would it not?"

the name you are looking for is familiar to me." ** looks pointedly at Git **

the names after Fellthorn's yet live -- if Aragit Fellthorn does."
[Fri Jun 29 22:33:03 2007] : (85) Git: "Then
wouldn't it be quicker to work your way up from the bottom of the list, rather
than chase his tale, perhaps you could save some lives."
[Fri Jun 29 22:33:10 2007] : (99) Kha: "Git
this is enough. We have important things to deal with, such as the Death Kignt
and Talakara" ** look to Berard ** "You have been talking to the one you seek."

a different game altogether. Little details like all blur together after a
while, y'know?

care to tell me who is after my life?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:38:49 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
am a very patient man, in service to a very patient god. Sometime...
eventually... I beleive my enemies will come for you. When they do, I want to
be there."
[Fri Jun 29 22:39:40 2007] : (85) Git: "Ah..
that's.. morbid.."
[Fri Jun 29 22:40:35 2007] : ** (76) Agatha relaxes, finally. "Well they'll have to get in line.
There's enough folks irked by us, and if they aren't they soon will." **
[Fri Jun 29 22:40:54 2007] : (70) Berard: "Jacques
is a traitor to my tradition. Something that is virtually unique in our
history. His expertise with the infernal arts and death magic is
considerable."
[Fri Jun 29 22:41:26 2007] : (85) Git: "Right..
and what in the hells does he have against me?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:41:38 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
was hoping you could tell me."
[Fri Jun 29 22:41:58 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Well
he wouldn't last too long if he was bad at it."
[Fri Jun 29 22:42:13 2007] : (85) Git: :shrugs:
"Never heard of him."
[Fri Jun 29 22:42:54 2007] : (70) Berard: "Quite
a conundrum. Perhaps you have enemise of the necromantic sort?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:43:06 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Aye,
we've got more than our share of faceless enemies. Eyeless in some cases."
[Fri Jun 29 22:43:36 2007] : (76) Agatha: "The
blighter could just be working for someone."
[Fri Jun 29 22:43:43 2007] : (85) Git: "I
admit, I know a few of the names on the list, but no one I have had contact
with in a long while. WHo knows who I might have upset in the past. They are a
few too numerous to mention really."
[Fri Jun 29 22:44:03 2007] : (99) Kha: "Talakara,
one of the Concil of Nine, has a whole lot of Undead guards and we are on our
way to deal with her. I dont remember any other necromanic types we have
threatened though."
[Fri Jun 29 22:44:05 2007] : (70) Berard: "Names
in the first or second column?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:44:18 2007] : (85) Git: "It
rather disturbs me they know me by my real name though."
[Fri Jun 29 22:44:46 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
take it you prefer pseudonyms?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:45:35 2007] : (85) Git: "It
does help one to avoid certain repurcussions."
[Fri Jun 29 22:47:29 2007] : (70) Berard: "Oh?
Talakara?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:48:45 2007] : (85) Git: :nods:
"Yes.. she's a... new addition to our enemy list. It is possible she is
endorsing this kill list."
[Fri Jun 29 22:48:48 2007] : (76) Agatha: "Aye,
do you really intend to watch over our man through all that?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:51:08 2007] : (70) Berard: "If
this Talakara kills him before Jacques can try to, that would remove one of the
few leads I have. Plus, perhaps this council member has more information about
the list."
[Fri Jun 29 22:52:10 2007] : (99) Kha: "Well
Talakara fancies herself a Deity, and may actualy be since she seems to command
the power of one."
[Fri Jun 29 22:53:34 2007] : (85) Git: :to
the priest: "No offense, but I'm not to sure about having you along. After
all, for all I know you're the one who wrote this list and are looking to cross
me off next."
[Fri Jun 29 22:54:34 2007] : ** (76) Agatha raises an eyebrow and scoffs at Berard's boldness.
"Hmph. If he is, he'd be a fool to act now." **
[Fri Jun 29 22:54:35 2007] : (70) Berard: "That
is certainly a possibility! Though I would assure you that my intentions are
benign, your prudence is understandable."
[Fri Jun 29 22:55:01 2007] : (99) Kha: "Better
to have someone who wants to kill you traveling with you where you can watch
him, then following and able to strike from the shadows."
[Fri Jun 29 22:55:09 2007] : (70) Berard: However,
consider.
[Fri Jun 29 22:55:29 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
knew that you, or those who knew of you, would be passing through this
place."
[Fri Jun 29 22:55:55 2007] : (70) Berard: "Rather
than standing here, alone, in front of this well, could I have not simply
arranged an ambush?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:56:41 2007] : (70) Berard: "Indeed,
why bother showing you the list of names at all?"
[Fri Jun 29 22:57:04 2007] : (85) Git: "True,
but if you are working alone, it may be your way to gain trust of the victim
before killing them in a casual moment."
[Fri Jun 29 22:57:56 2007] : (85) Git: "Showing
the list gives them pause, and many will want to talk in private of such
matters, perhaps giving you an opportunity to strike while they are
distracted."
[Fri Jun 29 22:58:25 2007] : (70) Berard: "Your
friend with the axe does not seem to be the distractable sort."
[Fri Jun 29 22:59:00 2007] : ** (76) Agatha shrugs, perhaps overconfident in her ability to defeat this
stranger. "Hmph. Well, assassin or no, we'd best be moving along. We can
find a safer spot to camp than this before dark." **
[Fri Jun 29 22:59:01 2007] : (85) Git: :grins:
"Yes, I am fortunate to travel with steady companions."
[Fri Jun 29 22:59:41 2007] : (70) Berard: "Have
you no means on hand to detect the presence of those who follow evil
paths?"
[Fri Jun 29 23:00:25 2007] : (85) Git: :shruigs:
"Even if we did, there are ways to mask evil intents as well."
[Fri Jun 29 23:00:29 2007] : ** (76) Agatha has already turned to the road. "Aye, we call it our
gut." **
[Fri Jun 29 23:01:40 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
could make sure you are telling the truth. But I dont think Git would belive
me." ** whispers loudly as he falls
in behind Agatha ** "He doent listen to
what I have to say until I have said it a minimum of three times."
[Fri Jun 29 23:02:47 2007] : ** (85) Git notices Aggy strolling off and sighs to the priest:
"Well, I don't have a way to prove you are evil either. So, you can feel
free to follow along until you catch a break in your case. And I shouldn't have
to tell you what will happen if you prove to be a killer," **
[Fri Jun 29 23:03:21 2007] : (70) Berard: "I
do appreciate it. And I do not believe you shall regret your decision."
[Fri Jun 29 23:03:56 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) Odd question The quote
"Aeolarin: The Watcher is one of the Nine. The Doom of ancient Celdenor.
An abyssal lord, in human terms." is something that was said WAYY back
when we went though the Sla-Mori with Ari (Before the Desert) Is the Nine she
was talking about the Council (Will have Kha roll an Int check if you want)
[Fri Jun 29 23:04:06 2007] : (85) Git: "I
would hope not." :turns to follow the group:
[Fri Jun 29 23:04:23 2007] : ** (70) Berard follows after Git. **
[Fri Jun 29 23:05:20 2007] : ** (76) Agatha almost seems to be inviting trouble in the way she stolls
along so carelessly. **
[Fri Jun 29 23:05:25 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) int, sure
[Fri Jun 29 23:05:36 2007] : (99) Kha: Int
check: [1d20+2] => [12,2] = (14)
[Fri Jun 29 23:05:46 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) yes and no
[Fri Jun 29 23:06:08 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) Yes, part of the Council, and no. the Nine refers to
something else.
[Fri Jun 29 23:07:42 2007] : ** (99) DJ (Ubuntu
6.10) found the F12 macro key **
[Fri Jun 29 23:09:38 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) So Kha might make the (posible
erroneous) logical leap that what she was talking about back then is tied to
what is going on now?
[Fri Jun 29 23:10:33 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) yep
[Fri Jun 29 23:10:44 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) but you get the sense there's more to it than that
[Fri Jun 29 23:10:46 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) naturally
[Fri Jun 29 23:10:47 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) ^^

when he thinks there is more going on, even if what he fills in is totaly wrong

her."

just remembered something she said." **

made her was to deal with a Watcher, abyssal lord."
[Fri Jun 29 23:15:26 2007] : (99) Kha: "She
said the Watcher was one of the Nine. Seems to me that it may be tied to the Council
here."

Lunauc, Gautam, (GW): Log 26 if you are interested in refreshing your memory :)
[Fri Jun 29 23:16:33 2007] : (99) Kha: "Well

TaliesinNYC, when the group sleeps for the night Kha will enter the Dreamrealm
and scout the Manor again, to verify the layout and see if he still encounters
the power he felt last time he tried to enter the manor ((We can FF, since he
is just trying to verify what he remembered))
[Fri Jun 29 23:19:24 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) ok
[Fri Jun 29 23:19:46 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) and yes, you encounter the power again
[Fri Jun 29 23:19:53 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) only this time, it's much stronger
[Fri Jun 29 23:20:01 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10): (GW): The area is near the bottom, search for The Doom of
ancient Celdenor
[Fri Jun 29 23:20:06 2007] : (73) TaliesinNYC: (GM Whisper:) AND you sense a presence in tel'aran'rhiod that was not there
before

[Fri Jun 29 23:24:38 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) You see a tall, incredibly beautiful woman in white robes.
Her skin is as pale as ice, and her eyes as black as midnight.
[Fri Jun 29 23:25:12 2007] : (73) Selene: (GM Whisper:) "I thought I sensed a presence here some time ago. I see
that I was not wrong."
[Fri Jun 29 23:25:22 2007] : (99) Kha: (whispering to GM) "Why not? A Cleric of the Dreamlord should be able

[Fri Jun 29 23:26:45 2007] : (99) Kha: (whispering to GM) "I see that much. Which is what caught my attention.
Only two deities I know of should have the power I feel here. Oneiros and
Mania."
[Fri Jun 29 23:27:43 2007] : (73) Selene: (GM Whisper:) "Not all who dwell in tel'aran'rhiod belong to your
world. You would do well to remember that, human."
[Fri Jun 29 23:28:17 2007] : **(73) Selene:

a brief moment, holds a lance of black ice.**

is it I shouldnt be here?" ** pauses
at the sight of the lance ** ((Consentration
check [1d20+16] => [5,16] = (21) (DC is an opposed concentration check) to
make her lance appear in Kha's hands ))
[Fri Jun 29 23:30:56 2007] : (99) Kha: (whispering to GM) (( She will know what he tied even if he failed to take
it, since it a direct competition of whills to shape the Dream Realm ))

[Fri Jun 29 23:31:13 2007] : (73) Selene: (GM Whisper:) "The Great Lord gives those who serve him many gifts,
human, including the power to oppose saidin."

looks past your shoulder. "You!" **

(GM Whisper:) hurls her lance straight
at Kha. The weapon increases in size, quickly blotting out your vision and
transforms into a gigantic black widow.**
[Fri Jun 29 23:33:16 2007] : (99) Kha: (whispering to GM) "Ahh, you are a servent of Shai`Tan then? Met a few
of your kind. One seemed to want me to join her. Though I am not interested in
following an outsider Deity." **

standing, and when you turn around, there is none there. But as you turn
around, you're ripped from the dream realm and wake suddenly.

who was it then?"
[Fri Jun 29 23:43:19 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) The name Selene seems familiar
to me, tied to the Half Drow that poisoned Kha way back in the begining, then
tried to kill him again in the Trial of the wooden mouse, am I remembering
properly?
[Fri Jun 29 23:44:33 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) yep
[Fri Jun 29 23:45:10 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) So it's the same person?
[Fri Jun 29 23:46:41 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) it might be
[Fri Jun 29 23:46:50 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) she seemed vaguely familiar
[Fri Jun 29 23:47:32 2007] : (99) Kha: "I
think it was the Half Drow that you were traveling with when I first met you.
Selene. She is a servent of Shai`Tan. Last time we met her, in the Trial of the
wooden mouse, she tried to get me to join her. She wasnt so willing to talk
this time."

powerful."

have you? What brought this on?"
[Fri Jun 29 23:51:11 2007] : whispering to
TaliesinNYC, the Int check is to see if Selene looked like the Aes Sedi Kha saw
talking to Dame Gold right before she went to bed and lost her memory
[Fri Jun 29 23:51:14 2007] : ** (76) Agatha clearly remembers that early betrayal. "That witch?
You think she's at the Manor?" **

better." **

she knows we're coming?"
[Fri Jun 29 23:54:43 2007] : (99) Kha: "What
changed my mind? Talakara is clearly tied to the Dark One, which is where she
is getting her God like powers, I will nod deal with his servents since he is
not a Deity of our world. "

is more of a threat than Talakara?"

since I felt the power that should not be there."

Magister said properly."

provide a general layout of the keep but will post that on the boards)
[Sat Jun 30 00:02:50 2007] : (73) DM: (so please
be sure to check it this week in response to Kha's question)
[Sat Jun 30 00:03:06 2007] : (99) Kha: ((
Ok, guess we should stop here then so we can look at the general layout before
Git answers ))
[Sat Jun 30 00:03:22 2007] : (128) Git: "I
want to get straight to the knight. If we can knock him out the rest should
fall like dominos, right?"
[Sat Jun 30 00:03:47 2007] : (70) Berard: "Knight?"
[Sat Jun 30 00:05:21 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) Since the Traveling Weave does
not need to know details about where you are going, just details on where you
are, could it be focused on a person or thing? I know there is nothing in the
rules about it so thats gona be totaly up to you
[Sat Jun 30 00:06:00 2007] : ** (99) Kha nods "I'll have to think before I try that." **
[Sat Jun 30 00:06:05 2007] : (76) Agatha: "No,
we need to set him loose, if we can trust him. The crone said he knows where to
find Linze."
[Sat Jun 30 00:06:31 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) it can be focused on a thing
[Sat Jun 30 00:06:53 2007] : (73) DM: (GM Whisper:) but that doesn't take into account obstacles or effects that
might disrupt the outcome
[Sat Jun 30 00:07:14 2007] : (128) Git: :nods
to Aggy: "If we can isolate ourselves with him, that might be for the
best. Perhaps a room with heavy doors to give us time to get answers then
"free" him."
[Sat Jun 30 00:08:13 2007] : (76) Agatha: "That's
all I need."
[Sat Jun 30 00:08:15 2007] : (99) DJ (Ubuntu 6.10):
(whispering to GM) Aye, but Kha wouldnt know about
those either since he just figure out the weave, though he does know it will be
very hard for him to preform (He will have to Over Channel DC 25 to even get it
to work)
[Sat Jun 30 00:08:46 2007] : (128) Git: (so,
stop here and pick through planning with the map on the boards?)
